The post, which included pictures of the new venue, read: “We hope the new name will encourage people to reflect on what the city needs, and that each one of us will do our part to make Hong Kong a better place.

“Hopefully, the new venue and space will provide more creative possibilities. For instance, concerts can be held at the same time as exhibitions, and there will also be a space for people to relax and enjoy a refreshment.

It’s certainly welcome news given the uncertainty that surrounded the closure of the popular Kwun Tong venue, which was the last of several locations used by the club following several run-ins with authorities.

Hidden Agenda did not reveal the exact location of the new venue, but only told fans that it was located in a mall “east of Kowloon East”, and that a soft launch will be held on Feb. 24.

Hidden Agenda was founded by Hui Chung-wo in 2009, and has been a staple of Hong Kong’s underground music scene for years, hosting hundreds of local and international artists. It moved into its last location — an industrial building in Kwun Tong — in late 2016.

Since then, the fate of the live house had been hanging in the balance after run-ins with the authorities including the Lands Department, the Immigration Department, and the Food and Environmental Hygeine Department.

Hidden Agenda — which did not have a public entertainment licence as it is located in an industrial building — had been operating under a food factory license since it moved to Kwun Tong.

However, it came under scrutiny from the FEHD for breaching the conditions of their lease and license.
